Filmmakers and artists, Joana Hadjithomas and Khalil Joreige work across photography, installations, performance, video, and cinema. They question the creation of images and representations, the construction of imaginaries, and the writing of history. Their long-term research is based on personal or political documents, on traces of the invisible and the absent, on secret stories such as the latencies of wars, a forgotten space project, the geological and archaeological undergrounds of cities, or the strange consequences of internet scams. Their award-winning films include Memory Box (2021), Ismyrna (2016), The Lebanese Rocket Society (2012), Je Veux Voir (2008), A Perfect Day (2005)... 

They received the prestigious Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2017 for their artistic project Unconformities. 

Joana and Khalil are both very involved in cultural institutions in Lebanon such as Correspondaences, Metropolis, and Cinémathèque Beirut.
